Your love NEVER fails


The impact of music. I never knew how much a simple song could really bring change in ones life until today. Today I went grocery shopping for Fatherheart and took 3 of the girls with me. All 3 have had a very rough past and have ran from God. As we were on our way to Sams I hooked up my ipod and we began to listening to "Your Love Never Fails" by Jesus Culture. Please read the lyrics of the WHOLE song.

Nothing can separate
Even if I ran away
Your love never fails

I know I still make mistakes
But You have new mercies for me everyday
Your love never fails

Chorus:
You stay the same through the ages
Your love never changes
There may be pain in the night but joy comes in the morning

And when the oceans rage
I don't have to be afraid
Because I know that You love me
Your love never fails

Verse 2:
The wind is strong and the water's deep
But I'm not alone in these open seas
Cause Your love never fails

The chasm is far too wide
I never thought I'd reach the other side
But Your love never fails

Bridge:
You make all things work together for my good

So as the song is playing I look to my right then look in my rearview mirror and realize all three of these girls are singing this song. And it hits me. Listen to what this song is declaring. Every single verse and chorus is declaring that even though we have messed up... He makes all things work together for MY good. Just a few months ago these girls were running the streets and hanging with the wrong crowd. And now here they are at Fatherheart worshiping Him and singing out to Him.

And so it's really bigger than just a song. It's you who makes it possible for not only me but all the staff at Fatherheart to keep Fatherheart going because when these girls come through the gates of Fatherheat, they may think they are coming to just a maternity home (I did), but they are really entering into the Lords presence and seeds are going to be planted!! THANK YOU
